A high angle will increase anti squat and wheel hop

I gotta ask, why the coil springs? For better ride quality I assume? I always thought leaf spring rear was more stable for towing/hauling.

[@j_moffitt]

Not necessarily. A parallel 4 link (with a panhard bar) I would argue is the most stable, because it takes out any side to side movement as well as axle wrap under braking or acceleration which in return stabilizes the wheels to the road much better. As far as suspension goes, he chose coils because they are cheap and essentially maintenance free. He could’ve gone with bags or coilovers but it adds cost and maintenance.

[@j_moffitt]

Leafs would have by far been the cheapest/simplest but since it’s getting lifted, lift leafs or riser blocks just aren’t my favorite.

[@SmittysSpareTimeProjects]

@j_moffitt I see what you're saying, that makes good sense. I guess I'd be comparing apples to oranges since my buddies RAM 1500 is leaf spring rear and tows like crap. Rear end swaying every which way as apposed to uncles F150 with leaf springs. They're short arms though which I would think would make a difference.
